All these constant updates drive my crazy. Why don't you schedule them monthly?

Usually for security and stability reasons.

There is a rollout planned every week, but for above reasons even some unplanned ones need to happen in between these.

Generally the reasons are listed in the release notes if you feel curious what's usually the driver behind these updates between the larger monthly versions, and the process is to only ship severe things during the cycle (security, stability, workflows broken for many affected users).

This is a subset of as to why: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-security/ai-security-zero-day-vulnerabilities/

(In other news some other browser makers have also e.g. announced cutting their rapid release cycle in half to also ship even faster… so if you find some that do not update, that's possibly just because they're behind and not patching the reported vulnerabilities.)

The major Release versions are scheduled monthly or so however the minor updates can occur when there are security and or stability concerns that are found that requires updates.

In best case there are only one or no minor updates for a Firefox release version.

For example the Firefox 153.0 release is scheduled for July 21.
